Microsoft has enhanced security features in XP including the the ability to create a floppy disc to recover your password in case it is forgotten.

How can I gain access to a Windows 2000/XP/NT computer if I forgot the administrator's password? How can I reset the administrator's password if I forgot it?

HI, If you can`t get into Windows at all, the only thing I can think of is this.
Reboot and while computer is booting up press F8 repeatedly and you will get into Safe Mode. If you miss it and end up at logon, just reboot and try again, Once in Safe Mode find your Account and I think you will be able to change your password.
Write it down and make a Password Reset Disk
Instructions for that here
